Welcome to Southern OOAKS. Ooaks means "One Of A Kind Sculpt" All designs are unique and hand sculpted without the use of molds. Here under the old ooak tree you will also find my jewelry designs, needle felt designs and any other item that my muse has whispered to me to design. Come and sit a spell!!

Broohilda...the ancient one!!!

The Moon Is High

The Sky is Bright

The Perfect time

for Witches to

take flight

Meet Broohilda, the ancient one of the Southern Ooaks coven. She was hand sculpted using clay and paper fibers. Her face, hair, hands, feet and shoes/socks were sculpted using this paper fiber/clay mixture. Once baked she was detailed using an acrylic wash and paints. Her body is a strong wire armature wrapped in yarn. Her costume is hand sewn using vintage fabrics and lace. Her hat and belt are made from felt. Her cape and bow on her hat are made from a vintage spiderweb lace. Her broom is a cinnamon stick with straw fibers. Her pumpkin head is sculpted from Sculpey clay with glass seed beads for eyes. Her earrings are spiders made from clay. She is one of my taller ooaks as she stands at 19 1/2 inches tall. She is attached to a strong metal doll base that is covered in natural moss.

It seems there are quite a few witches hanging around our old homestead....hope they don't decide to see who can cast the best spell!!!!!

Until next time.....(if I haven't been turned into a frog...hehehe) HUGS,

About Me

I am a child of God, a free spirit, a gypsy, a hippie and a child of the sea. Love love love Halloween and Christmas. I know...a weird combination but then I am a bit weird. ^_^ I'm also a wife, momma, sister and loyal friend. I love being surrounded by ones I love and who love me for me..family and friends..all the positive energy sets my muse to singing. My muse allows me to sculpt with clay, needle felt, doodle and paint, write (working on a children's book) design jewelry and just let my imagination soar.
